Executive (Trainer class): Difference between revisions

===Generation III===

In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, two higher-ranking members of Team Rocket appear in command of the [[Rocket Warehouse]]. They seem to be two of the [[Ariana|same]] [[Archer|members]] who would head the Team in Johto three years later. Here, their Trainer class was changed to '''Team Rocket''' (Japanese: '''ロケットだん''' ''Team Rocket'') in order to remain identical with the Grunts', whose sprites they also shared. However, they are both given the name '''Admin''' (Japanese: '''かんぶ''' ''Executive'').

In the Rocket Warehouse, the female Team Rocket Admin is battled before going into the male administrator's room. She objects that Team Rocket is not disbanded, but after a battle, admits that it probably is and as a final act, turns off the floor so that the player can go back and heal. After defeating the male Team Rocket Admin, he sees the player's {{badge|Earth}} and realizes that the [[Viridian City]]-based Team Rocket has disbanded; he then tells the player that he will find [[Giovanni]] and revive Team Rocket.

===Generation IV===

Their Trainer classes are finally dissociated from those of the Grunts when they make a return in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, where they are each known as an '''Executive'''. However, the Japanese Trainer classes remain unchanged from Generation III, but they are still given names. They are all adapted from the Executives from {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} but given individual names and identities. Their names, [[Proton]], [[Petrel]], [[Ariana]], and [[Archer]], refer to real-life rockets or missiles in all languages, much like [[Team Galactic]]'s {{tc|Commander}}s, who were named after {{wp|Astronomical object|celestial bodies}}. These characters were all adapted into characters in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, retaining their unique identities.
